| description | Add documentation for contributors and developers. |
Documentation exists in 3 forms, code comments, design/architectural documentation that is made up of markdown files describing code flow and core concepts (such as DESIGN.md), and the documentation website.
Design/architectural documentation such as DESIGN.md should always be kept up-to-date.
The website captures the documentation primarily for the @microsoft/fast-element package. Other packages are treated as tangential, so testing packages or other utilities should have their own sections.
The website has been written in 11ty and primarily consists of markdown files. When making changes, ensure that the website has been scanned on whichever latest major version is available. These are organized by folder, so if 1.x/2.x/3.x folders are available, you will update the documentation in the 3.x folder.
If you are making a breaking change, ensure the migration document has been updated.
All markdown documentation aside from the package/crate level DESIGN.md files are in that package/crates docs folder.
Any documentation created for the website should be written with the developer implementing the package in mind, it is not intended for other audiences.
